    Looking at trying out WIn 8 on my CF-19 Mk2, which currently has WIn 7 on it. The Win 8 compatibility tester says that components of the bluetooth stack are incompatible, and sends me to a Toshiba website that wants to install Version 6.x drivers. I had Version 8.x on my CF-19, and then upgraded to version 9 from the CF-19 mk6, but the compatibility tester still wants to downgrade me to Version 6. Anyone have any clue what to do?

    I'm getting ready to do what you want just for fun and we'll see what happens. i agree with above, to just back up what is working and try it if you are gameI just upgraded on the CF=-C1 and bluetooth works fine upgrading win7 to win8, i am going to try upgrading from win 7 to win 8 on my mk2 CF19 next week and will let you know. FWIT, my gobi2000 quit working on the cf-c1 when i upgraded, as well as when I went from MK2 CF-19 xp to win7. Worth a try if you have the hard drive and time
